Have you ever wondered what your top anime characters might read if they were real, live, human beings? Today, we are going to find out just that! We are starting with the notorious BIG 3 from UA high; the top students in terms of strength in the anime/manga My Hero Academia. Who are the Big 3 and what would they read? Continue below to find out!
Let’s start with Tamaki. Tamaki Amajiki is a bit of a pessimist and very insecure about everything that makes him, HIM. Tamaki gains powers of the things that he eats; he sticks to specific items (like takoyaki or octopus) so that he can defeat his opponents to the best of his abilities while being able to adapt to any situation. He would definitely spend most of his time in a secluded corner of a library reading soft romance, self-help, and recipe books. I imagine that UA High must have one of the biggest libraries ever built due to their need for extensive knowledge on everyone’s different quirks. If Tamaki is your favorite, check out these reads to feel a little closer to him!
Mirio Togata is as strong as they get but lacking a little in the noggin. He’s definitely a big jock and puts on a great show to make people think that he’s all brawn and no brain, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Mirio has the ability to go through any solid matter by concentrating; not focusing causes him to lose his clothes while he moves through solid spaces. In my head, he is always searching for gear that will go with him in any situation so fashion books and sewing patterns are on the list of his must reads. He also comes off as someone who would like to get away on far off adventures to help keep his motivation for his real life adventures so I’m going to throw Sci-fi into his basket. Last, but definitely not least, he spends a lot of time with Eri (a little girl with the vast amount of power and no control over it) so he has junior picture books on the side just for her! They just HAVE to be about justice because he has a strong sense of it and would most likely try to encourage that in others. Check out what I would say are his top picks!
Powerhouse Nejire Hado has the looks, smarts, dedication, and strength to back her up. She’s down to Earth, friendly, and popular. Although I don’t know much about her power, Nejire seems to have complete control over it. I think that Nejire would be into young adult fiction, horror (like most grown women are now-a-days), and supernatural romance. I might be biased because she is my favorite of the Big 3 so these reads are some of my OWN personal best choices. I can just imagine that Nejire listens to horror podcasts and audiobooks while training. She wouldn’t be into normal romance as this world is full of people with quirks, so I think that she would like to read something a little closer to home (fanfic perhaps?). In my mind, she is like most other popular teen girls in that she always has a crowd around her following her direction and she would keep up with the latest trends so the newest young adult fiction is going to be a priority for her.
The BIG 3 will eventually move on and graduate, and they are leaving behind some big shoes to fill.
